The old Corollas were also tanks. My 95 gave me 425,000 hassle free miles. I don't think I can say that about my 07' though. It just isn't the same car as the old one.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b6330b200000000007a3edcKY REDNECKFri, 29 Jan 2010 14:02:10 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b6330b200000000007a3edc
I live by the Georgetown KY plant. The company is giving the workers three options. 1. upnpaid leave, 2 Vacation, 3 work odd jobs w/pay. Things are ok now. People around here take things in stride.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5fbc390000000000a8186dNo Bailouts for MeTue, 26 Jan 2010 23:08:25 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5fbc390000000000a8186d
It's a shame, really. Toyota built its international reputation on quality vehicles. I own a 2000 Avalon and would not trade it in for a new one. I smile at my nonexistent car payment and low maintenance and insurance costs. I looked at the new ones and saw all the bells and whistles, but found the hipline too high, visibility issues, and the car overall too big-feeling. My 2000 has none of those problems and at 10 years old still runs like a top. Remember when the Celica was uber-popular? And if anyone owns a Supra they surely will never let it leave their hands. And let's not forget the '80s Camrys still out there somewhere. Toyota made millions of them and they ran and ran. Quality sells, and cheap sells. Toyota has some great brands, highly recognized, and it needs to get back to its game: high quality, small and midsize cars.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5fba8d00000000006371fbNo Bailouts for MeTue, 26 Jan 2010 23:01:17 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5fba8d00000000006371fb
What, you don't like the head-bobbing throttle delay of DBW?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5f9c7000000000002a608aIt's not only in the U.S.Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:52:48 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5f9c7000000000002a608a
'Toyota's recall may spread to Europe: report'
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/100123/business/us_japan_auto_toyota_recall
- TOKYO (AFP) - Japan's Toyota Motor may recall its vehicles in Europe due to an accelerator problem that triggered massive recalls in the United States, a newspaper reported on Saturday.
- The world's largest automaker is considering recalling Corolla, RAV4 and other models produced and sold in Europe, the Mainichi Shimbun reported, adding that it was not clear how many vehicles were involved.
- The models are equipped with similar accelerator pedal parts to those of 2.3 million vehicles recalled in the United States, the latest in a series of recalls by Toyota, the daily said.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5f9bd2000000000031f451Joe Wesenthal JrTue, 26 Jan 2010 20:50:10 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5f9bd2000000000031f451

If you don't know what DBW is, look it up. It is quite possibly the reason Toyotas have an acceleration problem. Furthermore, DBW kills the driving experience.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5f93c4000000000019c17ewallyTue, 26 Jan 2010 20:15:47 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5f93c4000000000019c17e
"Death" defect or not, no US company would have done such a thing as suspend production to fix a problem.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5f920300000000001c446bTrailerParkRedneckTue, 26 Jan 2010 20:08:19 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5f920300000000001c446b
Death pedals???? When will you right-wingers stop spreading the lie that ObamaKare will establish death pedals?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5f914400000000002ff868DizzyTue, 26 Jan 2010 20:05:08 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5f914400000000002ff868
Stopping production to fix what looks like a problem in the assembly line for these 8 models is a good idea. Is Toyota putting people on leave while this is going on? There will probably be a backlash from those U.S. communities hit, but weighing between bad PR in one specific area vs the world, that's an easy decision.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5f9087000000000077c815FritzTue, 26 Jan 2010 20:01:59 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4b5f9087000000000077c815

That's what happens when you allow brain deadened Americans to build your vehicles. American new generation of workers are beer drinking losers/
